ELKHART CO. – On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, detectives with the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) arrested an Elkhart County man on alleged charges of possession of child pornography.
This investigation by the Indiana State Police ICAC Task Force began when a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip ultimately led to the Indiana State Police serving a search warrant on a residence located at 3114 Birch Drive, Elkhart, IN.
As a result of the investigation, Joshua Grosenbacher, 28, was arrested for eight counts of possession of child pornography, a Level 5 felony, and two counts of possession of child pornography, a Level 6 felony. Grosenbacher was transported to the Elkhart County Jail.
The Indiana State Police oversees the ICAC Task Force, a multi-agency task force that investigates allegations of using the internet to exploit or entice children sexually.
The ICAC Task Force encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website.
